From outside, Rus hotel looks like a former high-class soviet-style hotel, but once you have entered the lobby hall, you start enjoying the cosy atmosphere and the devoted service. You feel that all employees try hard to keep you satisfied and to make your stay pleasant. Rooms are rather basic, but clean and you have a wonderful view over Kiev... more

The only thing that I found a little frustrating was the internet service. You have... more

The hotel is located a 15/20 minutes walk from the city centre, and the nearest subway station was only a five minute walk. Trains ran every three minutes to the city... more

I've stayed twice at Hotel Rus (for business). It's a very good affordable option in Kyiv. I have not experienced any problems while staying there. more
